Its #portfolioday!

I'm a former Marvel penciler (Daredevil #373)

This is my recent work from the last year for Blue Shack Comics, Lenovations Press, Disinter Comics, and Dr. Masque.

I just ordered a copy on eBay. I'm building a little collection! 😊

Just learned that Peach Momoko also did an homage to my DD #373 pose. I consider it an honor 🙏

It's quite an honor for me to have Dustin Nguyen do an homage of my pose from Daredevil #373 for this Batman / Daredevil crossover.

It's tiny, but really cool! I just found out about it today, thanks to my friend Dakota Alexander.

Plague #1 has shipped out, and my variant cover is out there in the real world!

Thank you to all who supported this Kickstarter 🙏

I appreciate it Kim 🙏

I'll miss creating art professionally, but it was a privilege to do it again at all.

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 27

Thank you 🙏

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 27

Rest in peace Dave Taylor 🙏

John Freeman @johnfreeman.bsky.social · Aug 27

This obi was hard. I’m very sad to report the passing of the marvellous comic artist, UFO and Rush fanatic Dave Taylor, most recently known for his outstanding work for 2000AD, who, at the time of his death, had been working on the second volume Megatropolis for Judge Dredd Megazine

In Memoriam: Comic Artist Dave Taylor

A small tribute to a great artist...

Thanks Kim.

This is more about true comic veterans with 15 + years with the big 2.

I don't consider myself a veteran comic artist.

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 26

I'm leaving the industry, so I have nothing to lose.

The big 2 don't care about comic veterans.

They have no loyalty to, or gratitude for the comic veterans upon whose backs they built their success in comics and film.

Here's a parting middle finger to Marvel and DC🖕

I'll be taking a break from comics for a while.

My day job has become more stressful, and I'll be teaching martial arts a few more nights a week soon.

It was a really fun year!

My pencils have been inked by Kevin Nowlan, Bud LaRosa, and Mark McKenna.

I'm very honored to have had the privilege to work with such renowned artists 🙏

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 11

I visited my friend Christian Angeles who was tabling at Nerd Fest in Swedesboro, NJ today.

I had the pleasure of meeting Derek Allen from Konkret comics and Robert J. Sodaro, comic writer. Hoping to have the opportunity to work with them in the future 🙏

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 5

Thanks Kim! I still think he must have been high or something 😅

Richie Acosta @richieacosta.bsky.social · Aug 5

A vendor visited my table on Sunday, pointed at my copy of DD #373 and said, "That's a nice cover. Everyone wants that issue. It's hard to find." and I said, "Really?!" Lol 🤷‍♂️

I had the great pleasure of meeting Star Trek actor Steven Lance at the Tom's River Toy and Comic Show today!

He played the Rhaandarite Crewman in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” @stevenlance.bsky.social
